System Introduction Thank you for choosing the Rose Electronics Orion XTender, a high-performance, long distance, multifunction digital KVM Extender. The product increases the distance between a source (computer, CPU) and its console (display, keyboard, mouse, and other peripheral devices). It is compatible with CATx (Twisted Pair) interconnect cables or fiber interconnect cables. The fiber models of the Orion XTender are especially suitable for environments with high electromagnetic activity, where electromagnetic interference can affect maximum distance and signal reliability. The modular structure of the Orion XTender product family accommodates a variety of applications by offering the flexibility of customization. Each extender card can be installed in one of four unique frame assemblies: 2, 4, 6, or 21 cards per frame. The DVI and HDMI extenders support high resolution video up to 1920 x 60 Hz, Full HD (1080p) and 2K HD (2048 x 1152). USB-HID signals for mice, keyboards or other USB pointing devices are also extended. A multi-stage compression algorithm maximizes data flow and provides a consistently clear image for HD video signals. Several options are available for each module, including analog or digital audio, USB 2.0, VGA inputs and RS232 serial data transmission. Extension distances up to 460 ft (140 m) with CATx cables or ft (10 km) with fiber cables are supported. The system consists of two components: a Transmitter and a Receiver. The Transmitter connects to a computer s DVI-D video output, USB keyboard and mouse ports, USB 2.0 device ports, audio input/output connectors and a serial port. The receiver can connect directly to DVI-D video displays, USB keyboards and mice, USB 2.0 devices, powered speakers, a microphone and/or serial device. Depending on the model, the Transmitter and receiver are connected with industry standard CATx or fiber cables. Features Superior image quality at all supported resolutions Transfer of DVI signals over distances up to 32,808 ft (10 km) over fiber cable, and up to 460 ft (140 m) over CATx cable Supports video resolutions up to Hz, Full HD (1080p) and 2K HD (2048x1152) Supports USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 peripherals.

43 INDICATORS Status LEDs The Orion Xtender cards shown in the previous section are equipped with Status LEDs. These indicators provide a visual output of working and fault conditions. This section describes the various indicators and the conditions they represent. Video Cards The Status LEDs on the Single-Link DVI-D, Dual-Link DVI-D, DVI-I (VGA) and HDMI video cards are described here. Cards with redundant links merely have two sets of the same Status LEDs, one for each link. All the video cards have three common LEDs. Each link port has two Status LEDs to indicate the connection status. In addition, they all have a multi-colored LED (LED 3 in the figures below), which indicates overall status. This LED is duplicated on the front panel of the unit as well (not shown below). On the Dual-Head / Dual-Link cards, there are two LEDs for the overall status on the rear panel (LEDs 3 and 4), one for each channel. The DVI-I (VGA) card has an additional Status LED on the front panel of the Transmitter only, which indicates connection status. HDMI Receiver cards with Local Video In have an additional Status LED on the rear panel to indicate the status of the locally connected source (LED 4 on that card).
